Have you ever had someone's make you feel inferior, or as worthless as a speck of dust floating around in the air? 

Has that person rolled their eyes at things you say, or put you down in a "jokingly" manner in front of others, or even make you feel like they could either take you or leave you, it wouldn't affect them at all?

I have, and it's not fun, it's heartbreaking, especially when you thought you had a good relationship with this person and you were very close to them, then you come to find out it seems like the whole thing is one sided. It hurts.

But, that's when you need to stop feeling sorry for yourself, you didn't lose them. They lost you, somehow. 

I am a very lovable, easy going, laid back kinda of person, I love to love people, those that will let me. If I trust you, I will be very open with you about everything. Don't get me wrong, I have my days when I just wanna be by myself, and be a hermit. But I have more good days than bad.

But some people for some reason aren't like that.

They can seem closed up, cold and not able to receive love at times.

I have not come up with a solution to this problem yet other than don't let their attitude affect your loving nature. Keep being who you are, don't resolute to being cold and distant to keep from getting hurt. Just be you.

If you feel the need to confront the person about why they act the way they do, then do it, but only do it with love and concern for your friendship with them.

Some people just don't know how to show they care about you in a friendship, I don't know why, they just don't.

But one thing is for sure, if they make you feel like less of a person when you're around them, and they put you down and make you feel inferior, get them out of your life. You don't need that negativity.

You need people to encourage you, tell you what you're capable of, lift you up, and you need a friend you can trust.

And also be the kind of friend you would want to have. You don't want a friend that never checks on you, never tells you to have a good day, never listens, never prays with them or for them, never offer a helping hand. You want someone you can depend on, for many things like: advice, midnight phone calls, Netflix buddy, food junkie, prayer, laughter, help anytime you need it, and encouraging words. 

Even though you may be friends with someone, they may tell you a lot, but not everything. They could keep the deepest darkest part of their life hidden, maybe because they are ashamed, or hurt, but always be aware that they could be hurting in some way, and your words or actions could make or break them, especially if you're their bestfriend.

The title BESTFRIEND is a BIG title to me. And it should only be given to those you trust whole heartedly. I for instance have 2 best-friends: Jesus, and Chelsea. They are the only two I trust with EVERYTHING. 

Choose your friends wisely, and pray for those that don't wanna be your friend, and tell yourself it ok that they don't.

What weekend?

I hate that the weekends go by SO FAST, but nevertheless we have to face the week sometime, so what better time than the present right?

I'm gonna tell you a little about my weekend, it was nothing fancy but it had wonderful perks.

Friday: this was the last night of our church's revival services, and we had a wonderful  time. We worshiped the Lord, listened to preaching and fellow shipped together afterward. We went to Frisch's and ate after church that night. I am afraid we overwhelmed the waitresses with the size of our group that abruptly challenged their night, we had a good number of 20 people with us, so that is a lot of people to feed. We sat down, ordered our food and playfully threw wadded up straw wrappers at each others faces, and of course picking them up off of the floor after we missed. To say the least, we ate, laughed, talked, and maybe ate too much, payed our bills and left. We most likely left the waitresses and chefs with an amazing amount of relief when we FINALLY walked out the doors as well.

Saturday: I unashamedly slept in until 10:30, and ate guacamole for breakfast.

Once again I say, unashamedly. 

Then after long pauses of thinking about hitting up the gym, I just wasn't feeling it that day. So instead, I got ready and picked up my bestfriend, and we partook in an adventurous Saturday full of shopping, food, starbucks, cute guys, and movies we shouldn't watch because we are WAY too emotional. But to put it plainly, Saturday was cool.

Sunday: Sunday is the Lords day, so yes we spent time at church this morning and evening, and both times were supremely wonderful. God is good. We also ate too many carbs, sang along badly to folk songs we don't know the words to, and ended our night with THE WALKING DEAD!!

I must say, I know how to do the weekend. 

I know this blog post was short, and I hope it was a little sweet, but if not, well, I really don't care. 

Oh, and just a friendly reminder: brush your teeth. 

Xoxo,

Kiersten

P.s. I really do care.

My heart

I have no clue what the subject of this is supposed to be, but I'm writing it anyways. 

This past week has been so amazingly eye opening for me, in many ways.

My church just held our revival services, and each one was so amazing, life changing, spirit stirring and heart renewing. I don't want revival to ever leave my soul. I wanna stay on fire for God, and make a difference in this world.

During this revival I grew closer to God, he drew closer to me, he healed me in ways I didn't know I needed healing, emotionally, spiritually and physically. He made me realize that I need to step up my game. 

If I could give everyone a portion of how spectacularly wonderful I feel right now I would, because I never want to NOT feel this way. God can give you the most wonderful feelings, feelings that no human being could ever give you. He will make you feel loved, whole, pure, needed, wanted, and many other wonderful things that I couldn't possibly list.

I couldn't imagine my life without Him, He makes me who I am today. I wasn't always so chipper, loving or caring. At one point in my life, I had hate and bitterness in my heart against people, I was lost. I didn't know who I was, or who I wanted to be, until one day I was in the car going somewhere with my family and I thought quietly  to myself, "there is something missing in my life."

I never told anyone about my thought, not one word. 

I went to church one night, on a Wednesday, and during alter call the pastor walked over to me and said, "Do you ever feel like something's missing in your life?" Then he held out his hand and prayed with me, as tears rolled down my cheeks, I could feel relief in me.

And at that moment I knew, there was something missing, and that something was a SOMEONE, His name is God.

I remember crying, and praying. I let go of everything from my past, things that haunted me. I let go and let God. I let  Him take my heart and my life, and he molded me and shaped me into a lady after his heart. He is still to this very day, molding me and shaping me into a lady of God. 

Now, I'm not saying since I follow God that everything is peachy keen, because I still have many struggles and trials. But during those struggles and trials God is always there, helping me through them.

He promises to never leave us or forsake us, and He has held true to His promise.

I wish there were words for me to describe to you who God is and why I love Him so much, but I can't. 

What I can tell you is He will never disappoint you. He is my provider, Father in Heaven, my hope, my joy, my everything. He is God almighty.
